Lizard scarf
This is my newest favorite project!
It is made with navajo plied Polworth handspun from fleece I bought at London-Wul. Heidi had dyed it in the best autumn colors.
I found the stitch pattern in Stitchionary I and it worked out perfectly.
**UPDATE - The rows were mixed up but are now corrected**
Here are the instructions:
CO 26 sts on 5.5mm needles (larger than normal)
Row 1 & 2: Knit
Row 3: *K6, YO, K1, YO x 2, K1, YO x 3, K1, YO x 2, K1, YO, repeat from * to last 6 stitches. K6.
Row 4: Knit letting all YO's drop
Row 5 & 6: Knit
Row 7: K1, *YO, K1, YO x 2, K1, YO x 3, K1, YO x 2, K1, YO, K6, repeat from * to last stitch, K1
Row 8: Knit letting all YO's drop
Repeat 8 rows until scarf is desired length. I used the full 4 ozs with just enough left to cast off.
I like this scarf so much I've now bought 2 more bags of fiber to make more for Christmas presents. Better get spinning, but first I'm now off to an Organizational Behavior class.

I love the pattern! Hey, Manon just gave me an idea. Rumor has it that there will be some silk for spinning at the retreat... man would that look nice done in that pattern!
Beautiful!
